We believe that grassroots participation in the Democratic Party can renew the Party and achieve progressive aims, which remains our mission today. #Wellstone
- This is what District 1 Council candidate @ZacUnger was doing when Piedmont residents Chris Moore and Phil Dreyfuss started running attack ads against him. Zac is an Oakland native & Oakland hero raising his family on the same street he grew up on. We are proud to support him!
- Bombshell from @hyphy_republic's Oakland Observer: the firm hired by @RecallShengThao to gather signatures is legally suspended from operating in California. This comes after the recall leader's nonprofit, @NTOakland lost its tax-exempt status too.
New: On the Ground [OTG], signature gathering corp retained by Thao recall proponents is Franchise Tax Board Suspended. Its owners have had previous companies: one corp was sued by Ralph's supermarket after allegedly harassing customers, banned from stores oakland-observer.ghost.io/thao-recalls/ - Rally Against the Recalls! Wednesday, February 28th at 10:00am at Oakland City Hall. Help protect the progressive women of color who are being targeted by the far-right. Stand with @PPrice_Cares and @MayorShengThao!
- Thank you for your service and work for the East Bay for decades Barbara Lee. It's disappointing to lose, but you held strong to your morals and values in this race. Barbara Lee would make a phenomenal Chair of the California Democratic Party if she wanted it...My statement on California’s US Senate election results.
- DIGUSTING behavior from Piedmont Landlord Chris Moore. Last night, canvassers for @carroll_fife were assualted for campaigning for her. Now today Chris Moore drops a video excusing the violence and even trying to provide reasons why violence ism ok. This is horrible.
- Mayor Thao raises concerns around the dark money behind her recall. Every Oaklander should be deeply concerned that the recall is seemingly breaking the law to try and hide their donors.
00:00The @RecallShengThao campaign is being sued by the Oakland Ethics Commission for failing to provide the Oakland Ethics Commission key documents necessary to provide transparency behind their donors. This is big stuff. - As the largest Democratic Club in the East Bay, Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club stands firm against the billionaire, landlord, and right-wing attempt to buy a redo of Oakland Mayor's Race. We will organize to fight against the Recall of @MayorShengThao and urge you to join us.
- Nearly 100 people here are an organizing rally against the Pam Price and Sheng Thao recalls. 📍 At Thy Word Ministries, East Oakland
- They were just mocking our club's attendance earlier this week. This is like Trump claiming his crowd sizes are bigger. This was supposed to be their campaign launch too. How embarrassing.Brenda Harbin-Forte, leader of the campaign seeking to recall Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao, handed off leadership of the recall to her sister, Gail Harbin, at a press conference at City Hall today.
- Absolutely disgusting and hateful comments from a supporter of @Recall_Price and @RecallShengThao campaign. This follows the similarly disgusting comments by the Thao recall organizer Seneca Scott, who we condemned in the fall. There is no room for anti-LGBTQ hate ANYWHERE.If you are wondering why the Recall Thao movement can only muster a dozen supporters, here's a potential reason, homophobic hate. Video going around of Recall Thao signature gatherer calling a resident "faggot", "queer" and threatening. Also admits he doesn't even live in Oakland
00:00 - Democrats support Mayor Thao, who was barely sworn in last year and is unfairly being blamed for all of Oakland's problems. The OPOA has never operated in good-faith in Oakland and the vast supermajority of its members don't even live here, unlike our members.Public safety is my top priority, so let me lay out the facts about the progress we have made since I was sworn in last January. #OneOakland #OaklandLoveLife #Oakland
00:00 - Replying to @WellstoneDemBarbara Lee has been fighting for the East Bay for years, and that's why we know she is the best candidate to fight for our state in the US Senate. We need a Senator who will prioritize housing and healthcare, not endless war and corporate handouts. #BarbaraLeeSpeaksForMe 9/13
- Endorsement Alert! After their main opponents failed to show at our candidate forum, Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club, the largest Democratic Club in the East Bay, is proud to endorse two amazing women: Kate Harrison for Mayor of Berkeley and Jovanka Beckles for State Senate!
